Would this work? Mold liner

[Half Caper Farm]

Our neighbours moved out a couple of weeks ago and I inherited many sheets of Coroplast corrugated plastic. Most of it will end up under the rabbit cages, but the smaller pieces aren't big enough.

I was thinking the other night that they might be really good for lining molds - if I cut them to size and taped them together like some people have done with silicone sheets?

Otherwise, they will make good backing for framed pictures. We don't waste nuttin' around the farm!

Some people on here have used them for liners, I have some but haven't tried that yet because it will make my mould size smaller and hence the soap smaller.

I can always make a bigger mold. 8)

Ive found a few things that might be work well as liners but have been hesitant to use them b/c im afraid of what might melt/erode/etc into the soaps.

ive been using 5 gallon buckets to mix my buckets and lye in, and the lye strips most of them. i did a test dot on a orange home depot brand bucket and when i wiped it off there was orange on the soap. im guessing that happens w/ most of the bucket people just dont realize it b/c they use white buckets and you dont see it unless you use a dark paper to wipe a test spot. so if it happens w/ the buckets, im guessing it similar plastic w/ the flex cutting boards and other sheet plastic not made for heat and chemicals.

i dont know, any thoughts?

I actually use them and they do make the mold smaller but so neat and the soap doesn't stick at all.

I cut mine in one piece for the bottom and sides and then use a square blank for each end. I will try and post pictures when I get home tonight to show you how they look in the mold.
